Italy: Not To Forget

Not to forget. Last week in Italy - central Italy - we had a striking earthquake which literally destroyed some lovely towns near Latium, Marches and Umbria, the latter one is my region. My city - Perugia - was not affected by the tragedy of the quake and we did not report any damage or casualties, although this happened not so far from here. Our thoughts are of course to the ones who lost everything, beloved ones, house and all the things of their lives which has of course changed a lot, maybe forever. My shave of the day is in memory of those who lost their lives because of the quake, sending a strong encouragement to those who are still there and survived to the quake to not give up, despite how hard and terrible this is, we all have to go on and work hard in order to stand up and keep on walking the path of life. I am also sending my gratitude to all firemen, men and women, volunteers and all those who gave a little of their life to help others in this tragedy. Not to forget.

Bravo for this post. When I was in Perugia many years ago with friends at the University per stranieri, we felt several tremors one day, and thought about what a full-blown earthquake would do to those thousand-year-old Etruscan buildings. Such a tragedy. Thoughts and prayers for the families of the victims and survivors.

Dark Hallows is going to be a nice combo this fall

Da Vinci 296 is even better than I expected. 22mm knot is the right choice for this brush. Anything larger wouldn't be as pleasant for me.
